Morrigan, The

Author: Obsidian

(great queen). Irish.

A triplicity of Valkyries (see Badb, Macha, and Nemain ), exalting in battle frenzy, chaos, and the gore of slaughter. She/they have a particular role in being the Choosers of the Slain; selecting, severing from the body, and guiding to the afterworld the spirits of fallen warriors. She has, however, many and diverse aspects and functions. She has been closely associated with water in general, and rivers in particular. She seems in this latter aspect to be a chooser of the slain as well, in that she is seen by those whose fate it is to die in an upcoming battle as a crone, washing their clothing beside a river. See also Morgan le Fay, for a late version.

Due to both being exiled they find themselves helmets to cover there faces, Morrigan tells the guards they are Grey Wardens and need the Dwarves aid to stop the Blight but the guard tell them King Aeducan has went to the stone.
